Possession.

Kuroko Tetsuya had finally had enough. Basketball was no longer enjoyable. The team had changed into people that he was disappointed to say that he no longer knew and he didn't know how to deal with that. It seemed as if his opinion no longer mattered and he had become used to being ignored.
"Winning is everything." Not to him.
Aomine Daiki was bored. Bored with school, with life, with basketball. It was no longer entertaining. It was...for lack of better word, boring. Basketball was no longer challenging neither entertaining to him. He could no longer feel the pleasant rush that would wash over him whenever he scored a basket. In fact,
"The only one that can beat me is me."
Midorima Shintaro was a realist. He knew that had unlimited talent. He could no longer be beaten. There was no longer a challenge. Hell, he doubted he needed the day's lucky item to win a game any longer. Not that he would chance it though. It was then that he realised that with his amount of talent, he only needed himself.
"A man who cannot play by himself, cannot improve by himself."
Kise Ryouta was not as oblivious as everyone seemed to think he was. He knew that his team was falling apart, if it hadn't already. The individuals if the team were just that. Individuals.
Each player had such a different style of playing that they could no longer work together. The Teiko Middle School Basketball Club were just a bunch of individually invincible monsters that couldn't be beaten. The problem was, Kise had no problem with that.
"No matter what you felt, it's wrong for a sportsman to lose on purpose!"
Muraskibara Atsushi was hungry. Well, that wasn't particularly different. Him being him, he didn't really notice the things around him. Well, he just didn't really care, to be honest. He never particularly liked basketball so why should he particularly care?
"All these things you guys seek, hard work, guts, faith. I'll crush them all."
I'm very aware that I did all of them except for Akashi. This is in purpose. So don't rant at me Kay?
I hope you all like it! I would love I see your comments. Sorry it's short and creative. Anyways, it's just an intro. The next chapter is already up.
